  • The Ocooch Mountains of Richland County
    Ocooch Sunrise - Photos by Ricki Bishop unless noted otherwise. The Ocooch Mountains of Richland County. The Ocooch Mountains are a place name for the Western Upland area of Wisconsin also known as the Driftless Region, meaning un-glaciated, lacking glacial drift or the Paleozoic Plateau. The lack of glaciated terrain accounts for the high hills, bluffs, and ridges. The LaCrosse, Kickapoo, Baraboo,Lemonweir, Pine, Wisconsin, Grant, Platte and Pecatonia rivers and their tributaries created deeply eroded valleys that contrast the nearby peaks. One dramatic example is Wildcat Mountain State Park in Vernon County. The Baraboo Range anchors the east eastern edge where the Wisconsin River turns and runs through the area to the Mississippi River. The Baraboo Range in Sauk County is a monadnock, originally a Native American term for an isolated hill or a mountain that stands above the surrounding area, typically by surviving erosion. This is where Devil's Lake, a National Natural Landmark, formed 1.6 billion years ago. The appellation “Ocooch Mountains” first use appears to have been in Edwin James' three-volume work, "An Account of an Expedition from Pittsburgh to the Rocky Mountains, Performed in the Years 1819, 1820... Under the Command of Maj. S.H. Long" (London, 1823).” James wrote, "The only hills worthy of particular notice, not only in this variety, but in the whole section under consideration, are the Ocooch and Smokey mountains, which are broad and elevated ridges rather than mountains. The former is situated about twelve miles north of the Wisconsin one hundred miles above its mouth..." He later says, "The third is a range of hilly and broken country, commencing on the Wisconsin near the Portage, and extending northwardly to Lake Superior.

  • 2013-2014 Wisconsin Blue Book
    STATISTICS: HISTORY 677 HIGHLIGHTS OF HISTORY IN WISCONSIN History — On May 29, 1848, Wisconsin became the 30th state in the Union, but the state’s written history dates back more than 300 years to the time when the French first encountered the diverse Native Americans who lived here. In 1634, the French explorer Jean Nicolet landed at Green Bay, reportedly becoming the first European to visit Wisconsin. The French ceded the area to Great Britain in 1763, and it became part of the United States in 1783. First organized under the Northwest Ordinance, the area was part of various territories until creation of the Wisconsin Territory in 1836. Since statehood, Wisconsin has been a wheat farming area, a lumbering frontier, and a preeminent dairy state. Tourism has grown in importance, and industry has concentrated in the eastern and southeastern part of the state. Politically, the state has enjoyed a reputation for honest, efficient government. It is known as the birthplace of the Republican Party and the home of Robert M. La Follette, Sr., founder of the progressive movement. Political Balance — After being primarily a one-party state for most of its existence, with the Republican and Progressive Parties dominating during portions of the state’s first century, Wisconsin has become a politically competitive state in recent decades. The Republicans gained majority control in both houses in the 1995 Legislature, an advantage they last held during the 1969 session. Since then, control of the senate has changed several times. In 2009, the Democrats gained control of both houses for the first time since 1993; both houses returned to Republican control in 2011.

  • Meskonsing-Kansan
    MESKONSING-KANSAN 2019 A sign from Sydney Jane Brooke Campbell Maybrier Pursel’s Baxoje Language Community Arts Project. THIS IS NATIVE LAND a preface We begin with a statement that we encounter in written, oral, embodied, and material forms. It is expressed in the scholarship we read, the podcasts we listen to, in conversations with friends, and in the everyday spaces of political struggles we are part of and ac- countable to. It is not a metaphor, a figure of speech, or a conceptual abstraction. It expresses the ongoing vitality and aliveness of com- plex material, social and ecological relations, of legal and political orders inscribed in land and alive in land, in protocols that have been understood and practiced by Indigenous peoples since time immemorial. It does not emerge from, center or even articulate for non-Indigenous communities. But it does implicate us. This booklet is part of an effort to struggle with the ongoing re- fusal of white settlers to engage with the reality of this claim, with its aliveness. It is a refusal that emerges from, and obscures, the vi- olent assertion of political authority of non-Indigenous people over Indigenous peoples, places and polities. How does land come to be rendered as emptied of Indigenous peoples, relations and political life? How does this take form—material and institutional form—how does it coalesce around stories and structures, around calculations and modes of feeling, around everyday experiences of being in place? 1 MESKONSING-KANSAN an introduction Meskonsing-Kansan is about place, or at least a way of thinking about places, regions, and counterterritories.

    Essay 20 WISCONSIN PEOPLE & IDEAS Essay THE EDGE OF ANOMALY BY CURT MEINE Wilderness exists in all degrees, from the little accidental wild spot at the head of a ravine in a Corn Belt woodlot to vast expanses of virgin country. … Wilderness is a relative condition. —Aldo Leopold, “Wilderness as a Form of Land Use” (1925) ur four-car caravan leaves the creekside Oparking lot, winds across the valley, follows the curves of a narrow road, climbs up a bank of steep, oak-forested hills, and rolls through open pastures and upland crop fields toward the ridgetop farm of Joseph Haugen. Most of the twenty university students have no idea where we are. There is no reason they should. Some have come from ten thousand miles away. Edible Madison A defining characteristic of the rural Driftless Area landscape today, the contour strip protects waterways from excessive sediment, manure, and chemical runoff. Jim Klousia/ SPRING 2018 21 Essay But here we are, a few miles from the Mississippi River in western Wisconsin, heading to a small farm where eighty-eight- year-old Joseph now lives alone. His older brother Ernest, with whom Joseph lived and farmed this land all his life, died two years ago. The bachelor brothers had sold their dairy herd some years before but kept three Jersey cows for milk, for company, and for continuity’s sake. The lede of the obituary in the La Crosse Tribune read, “Ernest Haugen, a farmer and champion of land conservation, died Thursday at age ninety, just five weeks after milking his last cow.” We pull into the Haugen farm.
